English, 1727–1788
Thomas Gainsborough (baptised 14 May 1727 – 2 August 1788) was an English artist who worked in painting, drawing, and printmaking, focusing on portraits and landscapes. He was a founding member of the Royal Academy and played a key role in establishing the 18th-century British landscape school. Gainsborough painted quickly, using a light palette and loose brushwork, and although he produced many portraits, he preferred creating landscapes. He was born in Sudbury, Suffolk, and spent his early years there before moving to London to study art.
